Chapter 5

Realizing she’d put her foot in it, Phedra quickly clapped a hand over her mouth “Never mind. Now that you’ve married into the Ramirez family, you must play by the rules. Look at yourself. What a mess!”

Elgin answered indifferently. So what?” He could not care less

“She’s got no right to bully you.” Elgin’s lips barely moved. “In all the world, I’m the only one who gets to bully you.”

Letitia’s heart skipped a beat. Even the right to insult her was his alone but no one else’s.
